In order to be called a true luxury performance offshore cruising catamaran, the width of the OE60’s hull has been carefully balanced for performance and splendid liveaboard comfort. Displacement, hull shape, and sail power are the key design features of an OE.
The advanced hydrodynamic shape of the hull, designed by world-renowned naval architect Germán Frers, utilizes the optimal length to beam ratio to minimize the wetted surface and deliver true performance. Instead of opting for fixed keels, a daggerboard configuration was chosen based on the advantages of providing lift, and lateral resistance versus drag.
This design is also more efficient by providing outstanding upwind performance with the daggerboards down, and best performance with daggerboards up in a reaching or running sailing angle. Another advantage with the daggerboards up is that the draught is less than 80 cm, allowing you to sail and anchor in shallow waters unreachable to most.
The OE64 is the newest member of the line of luxury bluewater sailing catamarans. The 64 has a stronger focus on performance, having the Ocean Explorer 60 setting the benchmark for luxury catamarans, the 64 offers the same interior layout with a longer waterline and different deck layout. More focused on fast cruising and racing.
This model offers a great opportunity for a fast yet comfortable catamaran that can be eco friendly. Using materials like flax for a stiffer and lighter hull, yet gives you the edge on the racing course. Something to include in your modern eco-friendly catamaran is propulsion, there is a range of different hybrid and fully electric options.
The catamaran is designed for shorthanded sailing, and with experienced owners the yacht can be taken out by two persons only, but naturally for longer sailing it is always good to have more hands to make the journey more enjoyable. With all electric winches and furlers this yacht is ideal for both young families.
The OE72 designed by German Frers offers innovative elements reflected in the accommodation and deck arrangement. Whether you plan to cruise stylishly around the world or race comfortably at 25+ knots offshore the OE72 will be the perfect platform to reach your goals. The accommodation volume offers ample space for comfort while the hull design measurements are focused on delivering high performance and stability. The fully customizable layout is designed to operate with only two crew to reduce operational expenses and weight from extra crew cabins and to increase interior volume and simplicity for the owner.
The OE72 offers many customizable options to transform this elegant platform into anything from a luxuriously spacious yacht with all the toys, to a highly efficient green circumnavigation machine to get off the grid entirely, or even into the ultimate microlight offshore racing multihull with the latest foiling package. Or perhaps an elegant combination of all of these elements! The four-cabin arrangement provides a generous amount of personal space and comfort. A three and five-cabin arrangement remains a part of the custom layouts available.
The new OE78 will embody the Scandinavian archetype of the OE60 and OE72 while expanding on the core features to become the ultimate maxi catamaran. Whether you plan to cruise stylishly around the world or race comfortably at 25+ knots offshore, the OE78 will be the perfect platform to reach your goal. The combination of high performance and abundant living and entertaining areas makes the OE78 comparable to a 100’+ performance cruising monohull while maintaining a very shallow draft to reach more destinations. Designed with the same efficient hull shape as her sister ships, the additional length and width create room for a spacious master cabin as well as VIP cabins, all with exemplary attention to detail in a timeless design.
The OE78 offers a unique balance between comfort and performance and will not be overtaken by any other catamaran in her class. The fully customizable layout is designed to operate with three to four crew depending on the intended use. The six-cabin arrangement provides a generous amount of personal space and comfort. A four, five, and seven cabin arrangement remains a part of the custom layouts available.
